La Place Law in Medicine: Part 2
We will do “deep-dives”, going deeper than typical physiology courses and applying to real clinical cases. In this thread, we go deeper into Laplace’s Law. Last week, I had a patient with hydronephrosis. Looking at CT scans, have you noticed that the renal pelvis usually dilates out of proportion to the ureter? To me, the […]

In mathematics, known for the Laplace transform (diff calc), Laplacian (Vector calc), and Laplace distribution (prob theory). But easily mixed up with Lagrange and Legendre. Why all the French “L” mathematicians […]
